<p>I understand that it's factored into your college GPA, and that could potentially be a disadvantage, but are there any others? At my school, we have a AP/Dual classes, so it's not really a matter of AP vs Dual in my case.</p>
<p>Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but it's in my understanding that some colleges/universities consider you a transfer student if you earn enough college credits. If this is true, does that affect your admission in any way? And does having dual credit from a community college look bad? I don't know if this is the way it works at other schools, but our AP/Dual is taught by high school teachers at my school (not community college teachers) and the college credit is from a community college. I'm not sure of that matters, but I'm throwing it out there anyways. xD</p>

<p>When colleges talk about the number of units/classes that make you a transfer applicant, they are only referring to POST-HS college coursework.</p>
<p>Oh, okay. Thanks for clearing that up! :)</p>

<p>The fact that it is taught by HS teachers in your school might matter in that some universities refuse to transfer credit for classes taught specifically for high school students. But, as an above poster said, you will not be considered a transfer applicant as you are still enrolled in high school. </p>
<p>If you’re still doing the AP versions of classes, I can’t see how the fact that it is also for community college credit could be harmful. Also, some universities do not factor grades from transfer credit into your GPA and do not include the grades on your transcript.</p>
